NOTWITHSTANDING the loud COM
plants uttered by a certain class OF
so-called workingmen about the al
legged expressions by capital and
the distress of labor. never before
in the history of the world has cap.
ital been satisfied with so little prof
it, has labor received such high
wages, have the hours of labor been
so few, have wages had as great
purchasing power, and labor receiv-
ed so large u percentage of the joint
profit of capital and labor, as in
this country. There may be some
exceptions, but they are few and
the statement is literally true.
Hence the strikes now prevailing
are not only unwise, but they are
almost wicked in that they are un-
just TO capital and oppressive to
the strikers themselves.

The Talbot county Times, speak
ing of John Wanamaker's propo-
sition to divide the profits of his
immense business with his employ
ees, wants to know if the Wana-
maker concern fails, whether "the
employees are to bear pro rata of
the losses" 1t is poor rule, the
Times thinks, that won't work both
ways. For the peace of mind of our
conscientious brother, we will IN
form him that the word fail is not
to be found in John Wanamaker' s
vocabulary.

Forthe Evening Capital
Our City Cemetery.

Mr.. EDITOR Il have read with
satisfaction the many communica-
tons in the CAPITAL in regard to
the proposed improvements to the
old cemetery. There is one great
mistake IN the idea that the inn
provement of the Cemetery should
be made by public donation. A
Cemetery should be so managed as
to pay its expenses and have a sur
plus on hand, and if the present
cemetery was managed on the same
plan as most cemeteries are, (for |
have visited many Of them) there
could be ground enough made in
the present Cemetery to bury all the
dead for the next fifty years, and the
sale of lots would pay the expenses
and leave surplus on hand. There
has been too many tears shed and
too many ties connected with the
dead of the old Cemetery to let it
stand as it is and make new one.
Beautify the old one. Furnish
the money to make the improve
ment | propose, and before it is
finished the money will commence
to return
What / propose to do is to make
an avenue from the west gate twelve
feet wide to the creek, to four
foot water; to make an avenue
twelve feet wide, parallel with the
creek running north, by driving
stakes like Medford and Russell
made their wharf, and fill in with
shells before the stakes give way.
The shells will make the best sea
wall No doubt the oyster packers
would freely give the shells. Con-
tinue the avenue to the south gate,
and widen the same from the west
gate running north to the creek,
and grade that portion of the GENE
terry from that avenue to the creek
or west avenue. Take all the dead
up. Put all the unknown in one
lot and all the known in another
lot. No doubt many of the colored
people would move their friends to
their new cemetery. Take the grad
ed earth to make the new ground
on the shells; then there can be a
bridge planted on the outside of
west and north avenues. Where /
propose to grade is the most beau
tiful part of the cemetery, lying to
the setting sun and by the meadow
lot on the north side of the ceme-
terry. Let the managers borrow the
money until the improvement is
made, and then there will be room
for all denominations to lay in peace
and harmony.
One that loves the dear

CIRCUS LEMONADE.
How Smiling Stranger Paralyzed a
Vender of the CHASTITY Fluid.


This is lemonade, is it notP" in
quired a light-haired gentleman bland
ly, as he stepped up in front of a stand
on the circus ground.
The proprietor replied that it was
ice-cold lemonade, and generously
threw in the information that the price
was only five cents a glass.
Tll take a glass, if you please, "
said the stranger, and it was placed
before him.
"If there is any thing l am fond of, D."
he continued, with much affability, ''it
is good lemonade;' and he drew
lemon from one of his pockets, cut a
hole in it, and with great deliberation
squeezed the juice into the glass. Then
from another pocket he took spoon
and a small paper sack filled with
sugar, with which he proceeded to
sweeten the mixture. A crowd was
gathering about HIM by this time, and
the proprietor of the refreshment
stand was becoming red and very
moist.
"Pll give you half dollar to go
away from here" he said to the bland
gentleman, anxiously.
MY FRIEND" said the smiling GUS
toner, slipping with evident satisfac-
ton the beverage he had mixed lit
affords me pleasure to say that this is
the best lemonade l ever drank on a
show-ground. Here is your five cents. "
And he finished the glass, paid his
money, and elbowed his way out
through the crowd.
Half an hour later the Lemonade

guised in pair of green goggles and a

A Rich Woman's Whim.

A curious story comes from England
through private source, that the
Baroness Burdette Coutts has some-
thing that no other woman in the
world possesses-three skins. All 9TH
er women have two; but what is the
use of great fortune if you can't af-
ford yourself little unusual luxury
now and then? The third skin is made
of silk, and is so exquisitely fine and
close-fitting that few people have de-
tected its presence. 1t is said to cover
her whole body, from her ankles to
her chin, and they, for she has sets of
them, are woven specially for her.
They are flesh-colored, of course, and
hide all wrinkles and ravages of time,
with the natural discolorations of the
skin that are the result of age. Where
this artificial skin ends at the throat
the Baroness wears splendid collar
of Jewels or velvet band. and she
never takes off her gloves while in
evening dress. not even to eat her din

SAVANNAH TENNESSEE, THURSDAY JULY 2l 1887:

master, was patiently waiting for some
sign that he yet lived. The sad sight
was so touching as to force tears to
the eyes of the men who had been
guided by the noble brute to the
rescue.
A hasty examination disclosed the
fact that life was not extinct, and while
one of the men set about preparations
for the relief of the sick man, the other
remounted his horse and galloped away
for physician, the nearest of whom
lived some twenty miles away.
Before sundown of that day, the doc
tor reached the miners cabin, and
found the sick man conscious, through
the skillful ministrations of his kind
neighbor. Within fortnight he was
able to walk about. When told of the
remarkable conduct of his horse, the
man wept like a child. He said he had
always known that his horse was un-
usually intelligent and affectionate,
but he could scarcely believe the story
of his wonderful sagacity.
George is in good health again, and
the care and attention which he be-
slows upon his horse are like the care
of devoted mother for favored son.
Not long since, a gentleman, having
learned of the incident related above,
expressed desire to purchase the
horse, but George informed him that
no amount of money could tempt him
to part with the animal; that it was
his intention to keep him as long as he
lived, upon the very best that the land
could produce, and when he died to
bury him decently, and erect over his
grave monument with the inscription;
''To my best friend. Youths Com
pd7aion.
